Overview of RSS#

The RSS app allows users to automatically fetch and parse updates from web feeds. This functionality is pivotal for staying abreast of content changes or updates from websites, blogs, and news outlets that offer RSS feeds. With Pipedream, you can harness the RSS API to trigger workflows that enable a broad range of automations, like content aggregation, monitoring for specific keywords, notifications, and data synchronization across platforms.

Connect RSS#

module.exports = defineComponent({
  props: {
    rss: {
      type: "app",
      app: "rss",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    // Retrieve items from a sample feed
    const Parser = require('rss-parser');
    const parser = new Parser();
    
    const stories = []
    
    // Replace with your feed URL
    const url = "https://pipedream.com/community/latest.rss"
    
    const feed = await parser.parseURL(url);
    const { title, items } = feed
    this.title = title
    
    if (!items.length) {
      $end("No new stories")
    }
    
    this.items = items
  },
})

Overview of Delay#

The Delay API in Pipedream is a built-in function that allows you to pause a workflow for a specified amount of time. This can be incredibly useful when you need to stagger API calls to avoid rate limits, wait for an external process to complete, or simply introduce a delay between actions in a sequence. With precision up to milliseconds, the Delay API provides a simple yet powerful tool for managing timing in automation workflows.

Connect Delay#

export default defineComponent({
  async run({steps, $}) {
    // Specify the amount of time to delay your workflow in milliseconds
    return $.flow.delay(5000)
  },
})
